Being sat on the Internet all day I regularly experience content that makes me think the person who created it has far too much time on their hands. The video you see below could also be viewed that way — two guys arranging beads and taking photos — but the end result is totally worth it.

Rymdreglage is the duo of Daniel Larsson and Tomas Redigh who are also known as Ninja Moped. They regularly make music together and create crazy videos. This latest one, called Zombie Pace, is certainly the craziest yet due to the sheer amount of work involved:

What they did was take thousands of hama beads and spent over 700 hours arranging them on the floor to create a stop motion video. But how did they achieve such complexity as is demonstrated in the video? The answer can be seen at the 15 second mark.

What Larsson and Redigh did was to mount a projector and camera looking down at the floor where they laid out the beads. The projector would project each frame on to the floor which acted as a guide for bead placement. Once a frame was completed the projector is turned off and the camera snaps a photo. Repeat that process thousands of times and you get a very memorable video.

It’s a very simple, yet clever system, but doesn’t get around the fact it took 700 hours to complete. I’m guessing they both hate hama beads right now.
